mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 01:37 PM (EST) "Where are the newbies?" I am astonished that there aren't more newbies showing up on the AI boards. Are we really that boring here? Are there other boards that are giving the AI fix this season? Do we have to trot out the Fantasia baby thread to stir some interest? What? I'm really concerned.   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 02:09 PM (EST) 1. "MRC!" So wrong, just so wrong and evil. *grin* If Ace had left last night this place would have been flooded with dupe threads. Just wait to the surprise boot and then hold on tight. And speaking of Fantasia, she sang the national anthem at a sporting event I was watching not that long ago (I think it was a Nascar race, really don't remember). Bad. Horrible. Dreadful.   Top

samboohoo 17173 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 02:10 PM (EST) 2. "RE: MRC!" I should have known I'd find the two of you in here together. It's Arkie Love Beware the wrath of Bebo. That's all I'm saying.   Top

Breezy 18380 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 02:19 PM (EST) 3. "Boo!!!" He started it! And I would like to point out to Bebo that most of my post is about AI and the other small percent was telling MRC he was bad.   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 03:33 PM (EST) 6. "Hey!" I'm just doing my duty as a concerned AI fan. I want to make sure that Webby doesn't lose revenue b/c no one is interested in AI. So, newbie lurkers, are you skeered of us or what? Come join and have fun!   Top

mrc 10113 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 04:05 PM (EST) 7. "Pull off those sunglasses" and tell me the truth, Boo . . . You're gellus, aren't you? So, who's your fave AI contestant this year, Boo?   Top

samboohoo 17173 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 08:05 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Pull off those sunglasses" Of course I'm gellus. It's Arkie Love Not sure yet. I really like Taylor. I really do.   Top

Glow 14353 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 02:59 PM (EST) 4. "RE: MRC!" ugh. I'm having flashbacks of Constantine getting booted. I saw it too which means it had to be a NASCAR race or a Steeler game or a Pitt basketball game. Yes, it was dreadful. Go Junior! I mean, Go Chris!   Top

StarryLuna 4771 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Stuff Magazine Centerfold" 03-16-06, 04:45 PM (EST) 9. "RE: MRC!" I saw it too, so it was definitely a Nascar race. Was it Daytona? If not, it was California, which makes more sense since it was Fox's first broadcast of the season. Luna's Eclipses   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-16-06, 04:21 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Where are the newbies?" Oh the threads one could start on just crazy ideas alone... How about a rumor that Fantasia and Ruben are making a CD together and calling themselves "The HazBens"? Oh, the fun! geekboy   Top

niteowl 199 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 03-16-06, 05:08 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Where are the newbies?" Fan Who and Ru Who?   Top

LIVEURBESTLIFE 302 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 03-16-06, 10:18 PM (EST) 20. "RE: Where are the newbies?" Actually Fantasia is not a has-been at all. She has a hit R&B record. That is absolutely fabulous. She has also been nominated for several awards due to the success of this album. If you are not a fan of R&B music you may not be aware of her album and maybe your radio station does not play her music but I hear her all the time. Truth Is and Free Yourself are my favorites.   Top

tenmeters 202 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 03-16-06, 05:14 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Where are the newbies?" I think the rules should be a little more loose to attract more people. because of the many restrictions this site imposes, the discussions have become so civil they put everybody to sleep.   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-16-06, 05:23 PM (EST) 12. "RE: Where are the newbies?" so we should allow people to be rude, obnoxious, vulgar, and say the same thing in multiple threads? i.e. this should be the hangout for teenagers? I thought that myspace served that purpose? rules are NOT bad. geekboy   Top

tenmeters 202 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 03-16-06, 06:21 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Where are the newbies?" No we don't need to be rude,vulgar, and obnoxious to be interesting. but to perk things up, we should not be behaving like monks an nuns,either   Top

geekboy 1788 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-16-06, 08:04 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Where are the newbies?" Monks? Nuns? And Bears! OH MY! geekboy   Top

aquariaqueen 2616 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 03-17-06, 11:06 AM (EST) 26. "RE: Where are the newbies?" I like this place because it's not as obnoxious as others.....and we're still snarky!! Plus I can't read all that new tek/wurd stuff the kids type.   Top

finallytyping 401 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 03-16-06, 05:27 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Where are the newbies?" U gyz r all azholes and dunno whut yer talkin abut. How's that? (technically, I'm still a newbie so if you feel like putting me in my place, go right ahead!)   Top

Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 08:53 PM (EST) 19. "Actually" Even in jest, that's the kind of statement that could get a real flame war started, and we don't like those around here.   Top

Stormy Valley 250 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 03-16-06, 08:39 PM (EST) 17. "Technically" LAST EDITED ON 03-16-06 AT 08:45 PM (EST) Technically speaking we can and do bash the contestants. The nickname for this site is “Blows.” It is called that for a reason, we can say American Idol Blows, American Idol Sucks, or even American Idol Bites. If so desired that could be said about a judge on the show or a contestant. However, per the guidelines personal attacks on other members will not be tolerated. Explicit, obscene or vulgar language, graphics or behavior is not permitted or even appropriate. In other words keep the post PG13 or under and do not post the same discussion more than once. There are a few other rules. Guidelines are necessary for a site this large. We are expected to be polite to each other, which in my opinion makes this a nice site to visit. However, they expect, encourage and play along with the bashing of reality TV contestants. A copy of the guidlines can be found here. Edited for clarity   Top

Bebo 21083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-16-06, 08:52 PM (EST) 18. "About the rules..." Well, no one is forcing you to stay, tenmeters. If you think we're so boring, please feel free to go to one of the other message forums out there. The guy who put his own money into the site and puts a lot of time and effort into maintaining it has decided that he wants things to run a certain way, and if that turns some people off, so be it. Given the large number of registered members, this place is doing something right for quite a few people.   Top

Magnolia_Rocker 2139 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 03-17-06, 09:34 AM (EST) 23. "RE: About the rules..." Hey, I love the rules here! There is no way in haites (sp) that you will catch me on the offical AI site. Those people are nuts. Half of them are the psycho love/stalker peeps and the other half just like to get stuff started with the first half I spoke about. It's scary! Heh, I lurked here all last year just to make sure these boards were safe. Don't change a thing!!   Top

If you want to see what happens with a looser board check out this one for Lost on ABCs official site: http://forums.go.com/abc/primetime/lost/forum?start=0&forumID=17&byThread=true Check out some of the OT threads. They have smart-a$$ teenie boppers who flame away and call themselves slaphats. People brag about being banned and coming back with new logons. Earlier today a young woman got scared and left the board because someone searched the web and posted pictures of her children from another site. This board is fine just the way it is IMHO.   Top

Wow, how disappointing that such a lame conversation ensued. I don't think that the rules are strict here to the point of effecting anything. It's much more fun when things are kept respectful and humorous.   Top

Actually, this is much much better than the office AI board. You can't say one bad word about a contestant or you're banned. But, you can call other posters names and not get banned. I like the format of this board much better!   Top
